ABOUT
Hi, I’m Louise: an artist, writer & creative solopreneur from Sweden. As a multi-passionate creative, I have spent my entire adult life avoiding traditional employment and instead making a living off of my art.
On this channel, I talk about everything I've learned along the way: About art making, creativity, mental health, and making a living as a creative. Dealing with perfectionism, fears, and overwhelm. Staying sane and productive among stress and distractions. And much more.

Alright, enough of you have posted comments now saying that "RUclips is social media", so I thought I'd give my take on that.
I don't consider RUclips a social media platform. I don't treat it as one. Nor do I ever state that YOU have to use RUclips in your marketing.
I don't view YT as social media, because most people don't come here to socialize or see what their friends are up to. They come here to be entertained or educated. It's a content platform and a search engine.
Not to split hairs about what is and isn't social media, but I'm not even sure if real "social media" exists anymore. Nowadays, everything's an algorithm-run content platform. But some platforms are better, some worse, for marketing purposes.
Bad platforms hide their algorithm, take away creator control and access to the audience they've earned, make them jump through hoops to get their content shown, force them into a hamster wheel, and pay them little to none of the revenue generated from their work.
Better platforms help their creators succeed, pay them, and reward quality work.
In my opinion, RUclips - although not without flaws - is one of the better content platforms. Because it's primarily a search engine, not a social media. Content here has a long lifespan. You get rewarded for building a body of work overtime, and you even get paid.
The point of this video is that there isn't any one platform or tactic that you HAVE to use. You can totally pick and choose. And if you enjoy Instagram or TikTok and get great results there - go ahead and use them. No need to be a purist. Every platform has pros and cons, including RUclips.
I'm not trying to say that you can somehow market your business without getting in front of new audiences. You have to. But social media are not the only (or even the best) way to reach new people. You don't even have to "create content" if you don't want to. I highlight plenty of other strategies in the video, including doing PR.
I hope this clarifies things. 😊
Totally agree, Louise. At the end of the day it comes down to authenticity and intention, genuinely serving your audience, and the importance of both is my personal takeaway from your video.
I could like this video a 100 times, I have no idea how I landed on your video but it is exactly what I needed to hear right now in my life and where I am i’m my business. Thank you , 🙏🏾
I also totally agree. Unlike literally every social media platform, RUclips invites long-form, focused, thoughtful content. Like yours!
For some of us, RUclips is the closest thing we have to socializing and seeing what others are up to.
We completely agree with you on this 💖
I love the fact that finally there’s a channel with a presenter talking like a normal human being, instead of the loud top of the lungs tech RUclipsrs and game players who sound like they’re 500 metres away from the listener.
😂
you can easily tell which channels demographics are mainly children based on how loud they scream in the mic
Channel demographics will also expect decent human voice. Kids might like “exciting” voice but tech RUclipsrs and game players shout beyond that excitement.
@@kineta_works And how 'Mr-Beast-ified' their thumbnails are
You had me at social-media free!! I’m SO drained from posting reels and posts and stories every second. It’s beyond exhausting. I’m still recovering from burnout.
You and me both! 😅
And me!
Me too!!
I couldn't do it. I tried but quickly realized it just wasn't for me. I'm glad you're beginning to find your peace. Good luck 🙏
Yes, hope you recover soon. I know that feeling too well and had to change my strategy.
I teach marketing and I’ve shared this video with my students. We need to get authenticity back.
Wow, I'm honored! 😍
Do you have a business outside of your teaching job?
@@vikmusic1165Yes, I do. And it works. Just like Louise says 😊
@@vikmusic1165Yes, I do 😊 No need for SoMe at all.
I feel glad that RUclips suggested this video. No shouting, no fancy(bs) edit. Calm marketing is explained calmly and easily. Thank you, Louise.
Yes. I closed my photography business after becoming so fed up with the social platforms.
Now I’m shooting film, driving a manual transmission car and changing the speed of my life.
It feels good.
Thank you, aligned co-creative soulBEing!! I'm on the same path! I started out shooting film in the 80s! I'm returning to analog and an old school rolodex! 😜🙌📸🌬
my whole nervous system just completely relaxed. i am your people. thank you
I gave up selling my art. As an introvert with a chronic illness, this video just gave me renewed faith to restart my business. I gave up a year ago thinking I had to constantly pump out reels and tiktoks which really isn't my style. Thank you for giving me so much clarity. I wish I found you sooner.
I think I've seen a million marketing videos, and I am in the marketing business myself so I understand the audience targeting bit but what really stood out to me in your video is the reality of how people who might enjoy art and buy will buy it in a calm environment. That insight was really a slap to wake up and change tactics for a few things I'm planning :)
I want to add my personal testimony to this philosophy. I have been a freelance creative for 11 years. At first as a photographer, then a director, and finally a small production company with my partner. In that time frame, I have experienced year-to-year growth. This year is shaping up to break another annual revenue record as we've already closed multiple six figures and it's only June. I do have social media, but among my peers, I have always been the one neglecting it. Maintaining a relatively small following count and using it for direct messaging communication. What's crazy is I've always felt crazy for neglecting our social media even though what we are doing has clearly been working for us. And it's exactly as you prescribe, focusing on genuine relationships with actual buyers of your work. Thank you for this video.
Social media is just an never ending stream of ads
For real though.
So exhausting
Thank you for this! I am at a point in my life where I feel like I'm being left behind because I just couldn't keep up with other people's energy and sometimes I feel bad for being the way I am, and even believing that maybe I was just lazy. You made me feel better and more optimistic, that I can still achieve my goals without having to be on full hustle mode (which is extremely draining to someone like me who prefers doing things slower. 💟 Thank you!
I know what you mean, and I'm the same way. Guess I've decided to embrace being a "lazy marketer". 😌
Totally resonate xx
This video seriously changed my life. I've been so depressed, asking myself how much I am willing to compromise in order to market my art online. It really never occurred to me, that I could build a marketing structure that actually catered to my values like this. Mind blowing. Thank you Louise
beautiful
changed your life, but have found your way to market your products?
Rarely do I comment on any YT video, and God knows I watch(ed) (way too) many. I ditched all my social media accounts two years ago, stopped watching mainstream news, freeing up the energy and focus to engage in activities and projects that make me want to jump out of bed in the morning. As a writer ,though, I still have allowed myself to get lured into the trap that I'd need any (or all) of these channels to share what I think may benefit others. Your video comes as a timely reminder that I can apply the same principles I apply to my personal life, to my work. Which, and life is not without a sense of irony, is the core of the message I'd like my work to put "out there" - to define "success" on your own terms, whichever they might be, focused on your personal preferred outcomes, and rooted in your unique, innate and natural abilities. Thank you :)
true dat.
"and God knows I watch(ed) (way too) many. I ditched all my social media accounts two years ago, stopped watching mainstream news, freeing up the energy and focus to engage in activities and projects that make me want to jump out of bed in the morning."
What's your secret? You are right where I want to be...🤓
@@ZomBMarketing There is no secret... Stop caring about the opinion others have of you, focus on your preferred outcomes, and trust on your own innate abilities 🙂
Starting a small art business and I feel the intense pressure to open an Insta, Cara, Deviantart, even Tik Tok, which I have stayed well away from…it’s just not who I am. I’m eo thankful for this video.
Just a suggestion for you from one small business owner to another, you don't need social media but from my own personal perspective A site like cara can be used not for business purposes but feedback purposes I use it for constructive criticism to see where I fall flat in my art when I'm stuck on a piece. I use it as a tool as opposed to a business platform so to speak since everyone speaks art there.
Not saying you need to, just something to keep in the back of your mind since it's been helpful for me.
I have uninstalled all social media apps except RUclips, I do not miss them at all and when it comes to my future business dreams this video was great!
At last - someone who doesn't shout - I love you already
These days I always never watch a full video without fast forwarding some parts or just listening to some parts exclusively and ditching the rest. Its the first time in a very long time that I just watch the full video and even go backward and relisten to some parts and even save it to rewatch later....wtf thank you so much for this video it s soooooo resonating and freeing parts of myself and reassuring those parts. I feel like I can breathe.
Thank you 🙏🏼
Oh wow, thank you so much! 🖤
😭😭 this is GOLD! I’ve been sitting here absolutely stressed out for days because I don’t think I have the mental capacity or personality to make engaging shortform TikTok/reels/shorts. I honestly thought I was doomed to be… well nothing tbh. This really calmed me down. Like, I could cry! Thank for you this video, honestly thank you!
I LOVE this Louise! I couldn't agree more with everything you mention in the video. The world absolutely needs more of THIS.
Thanks so much for this! I'm in the early stages of growing my yoga business and am having a REALLY hard time ever posting on IG. It seems really counterintuitive to post a bunch of content so that people are stuck endlessly scrolling. I want them to NOT scroll and do yoga. 😂
I love this!😍😍🥰
I'm so happy to find you talking about non-hustle business culture🌺
You, mylady, are a gift from the Universe! I didn't even know I needed this until YT decided to show your video in my feed. I have 2 ongoing project, none of which produce money. Because I am a storm of chaos and have no idea how to navigate this "do this and do that" pushover current that everyone is on. One of the projects will do well on SM (if I can find the recipe for it), however not the second one. Your calm marketing strategy is THE solution for that particular project. It also reminds me a bit of Marketing for Hippies, which promotes ethical marketing. So THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for reminding me that chaos is not the only way 🙏💫
I love this video. The thing I noticed is that what’s old is new again. Writing content to be found was how I grew my first business in 2009-10.
This is what quality wideos look like!🥰
❤️
I love you! There is no better word for it. Finally, a new marketing model that smells of life for us creators, instead of the often repeated, non-working models!
I’m just starting a business, and I’m absolutely overwhelmed with social media,
And the daunting prospect of trying to ‘sell’ my products without being salesy “/
So thank you so much for this video, I truly enjoyed the slow paced advice. x
Always remember that in business the most successful usually have a TEAM OF PEOPLE helping them. It's not just one person trying to do everything that the business needs. Don't be afraid to outsource and delete tasks so you can focus on other things to grow your business!
This is insanely inspiring to me. I’m a content strategist for businesses/brands and I am 100% shifting in the direction of social media free. It truly is an energy drainer and I want to learn how to actually give quality and value to my audience. I’m so happy I found your page! Thank you 🙏
Thank you so much. The demand to be active on social media all the time has been such a stress for me and had also been the complete opposite of what it means to be a creative for me. I love your strategy and this is so needed right now. We have lost what it means to have a true relationship with out clients because we are having to focus on just churning content out to stay relevant.
Bring on the CALM marketing approach and may it grow from strength to strength ❤🎉
Thank you for a video that states the truth clearly.
We have found ourselves in a strange position in this modern world when creativity is being stifled by the tools that are supposed to promote that creativity. Social Media is just pressure and aggressive competition. The simple truth of something like Instagram is that nobody on there cares about your art. It's just a panic measure to mimic TikTok, it is not a way to get your work out there to an audience.
Your advice harks back to artist self marketing before social media ever came on the scene. It’s kinda funny and refreshing to see this return to the “slow and steady” methods.
It totally fits with what I’m wanting to do with my business ideas, so glad I came across this
I’m only a minute in but I already feel inspired.
I switched major from bio to marketing and I’ve been feeling like I’ve made a mistake bc I don’t want to participate in mainstream social media marketing.
It just doesn’t feel authentic to me.
So seeing you reminds me that it’s ok to do things differently
The universe sent you to me! I'm like a headless chicken, tired and frustrated of following the "rules" to position my business, but if I dedicate myself to social media, my energy to create is exhausted and I don't feel like designing or I don't enjoy working on my art. It seems that we are becoming slaves of social media or that we sold our soul to the devil and we must pay for it. Thanks for this video! ❤
Totally agree…feeling much more motivated after reading the comments x
Wonderful video! You've echoed what I've been saying to my wife in marketing our hair salon. I deleted all my social media accounts accept for RUclips, and LinkedIn for now. I have a web design and digital marketing background and our best leads have always come from SEO/SEM so the people who are looking for what we offer can find us. Our data shows that these leads are by far a higher quality than anything social media provides.
I’m only a minute and half in and feel like I’m stumbled on pure gold. Thank you soooo much.
This video couldn't have come at a better time! I have only used one social (any more than one would have overwhelmed me)... but, I deleted that app from my phone yesterday. The net negative was outweighing the net positive (for me personally). I kept convincing myself to stay with it, telling myself that sharing my creative work with friends and family and ultimately trying to grow a community where I could share art and writing would be worth it and that I probably couldn't do it without that kind of platform. But, I couldn't ignore its effect on my energy, mental well-being, and ultimately my time. I miss what once existed -- a refreshing platform that, for me, was a space of calm and inspiration... a place where I had the opportunity to share, view, and appreciate what I and other people around the world found beautiful and inspiring, but that has given way to what is described in your video: a space that is loud, shallow, and distracting. I feel a renewed sense of hope and optimism to know that many creators here also want to create and share in a space that is calm and authentic.
This are evergreen principles for marketing any business. Social media is just a channel. Our ideal clients congregate in other places online and offline too. Great video, thank you!
I didnt know I needed to hear your message so badly until I found your videos. Thank you.
Wow I can’t wait to sit down and really process all of the amazing information in this video. Excited to build my business to NOT get burnt out 🥵 social media feels soulless
11:10 I had to pause this right here and write this down. My hands are literally shaking. I have been struggling to find my client because I just didn’t understand what that even means. I am doing this entirely alone with nothing but RUclips to guide me. I’m AuDHD and I’m so tired of being what others think I should be. I wanted this to represent me. This advice right here. I can’t even tell you how much this just blew my mind. My entire approach will be different, must be different if I want to attract the right clients for me. I had the best friend in the whole world and she is exactly the kind of person I would love to work with. She accepted me for all of me and so now I know what to do, finally!!! Thank you thank you!!
After watching this I'm compelled to write; Amazing value. One of the rare videos where the person has given genuine valuable advice. Thank you very much. May God bless you and prosper you in every way.
I feel so lucky that I have found you. That's exactly how I felt when starting a new job as a freelancer. I don't particularly like social media, they really exhaust me...and make me feel i have to bend my personality to fit. So thank you so much, i didn't think that being free in this world was possible, but here i found the proof ❤
Great, well-structured, and calm video. Thank you, Louise!🌺
I really wish I had stumbled upon your content 6 months ago. Figuring out how to make a business out of art is so easy to get swept up in the nonsense of social media hustle culture and the cult of wealth, where the pace is always break-neck and the goal is always get rich quick. I like how you are framing these tried and true methods of online marketing around this idea of a business pacing that is as calm and soothing and authentic as one’s art. You’ve earned yourself a subscriber!!
Thank you, and welcome! 🙏🏻
I do feel like a hamster in a hamster wheel! 😂This was the calmest marketing coaching ever. Thank you. I'm searching for ways how to tackle multiple accounts for my business, for my projects, for clients business, and my dogs account 😅
Aside from organizing a whole year's calendar worth of content ~ I'm trying to find a less time consuming way to get on top of it all.
I own a social media marketing agency here in Zurich, Switzerland. We create short form content for some of the biggest brands in Switzerland (which is a very small country). I‘m fortunate to have 15 wonderful employees.
I believe you hit on an interesting idea.
I also think you‘re right in terms of:
Quality over quantity and focus on your work first.
However, RUclips also works with an algorithm. Your video was suggested to me. IG Reels and TT work the same. If I‘m into sensational content, I will receive these. If I‘m into more calm, relaxed, no face explainer videos, I will get these too.
What I‘m trying to say is: yes, you‘re right. Focus on your work first, create long form content (blogs, podcasts, public speaking, youtube videos). If you have a good set, use Social to leverage these things (snippets from your pod, public speaking and so on). Those things will also find your audience.
Absolutely correct
I love the comparison of social media to standing and shouting at a busy road full of cars
Hey Louise, I just want to express how calm i feel even from the first few seconds you start speaking in your video. Aspiring to be able to speak as calmly as you in my videos in future! Thank you for showing me that solopreneurship can be blissful joy because that's what i have been trying to do and it felt so lonely for long time.
I wish I could like this 1000 times. I love your perspective. I've been wanting to get off social media as it takes so much time and doesn't offer anything in return. This is so helpful and a breath of fresh air in the marketing space. Thank you:)
The algo just suggested this video and I'm so grateful to have found you. I need more of this energy.
High quality video delivered in a very calm manner and with no fluff. New subscriber.
"The greatest force that exists is the human personality." - Goethe
In the last five years I've been trying to find my way of doing business as a solopreneur. It is the first video of yours I've watched and it really talked to me.
I tried a couple of times keeping an active Instagram profile, posting 20+ stories everyday, creating daily content, and it's exhausting. I have two kids now, and now trying to find a way to be able to homeschool them. I need free time and mental health.
Since the end of 2023, I am developing a new business aimming in simplifying the processes the maximum I can, and calm marketing is something tha makes total sense with what I am trying to reach.
New subscriber here.
Finally I feel such a relief out of no where 😂 just after a week of overwhelming and RUclips suggest me this.
You are so correct.
If I shared ALL of the resources for building businesses that I have sat with and pondered, I think that it would put a dent in the side of the internet like an unknown something that hit and vanished.
Thankyou for this! I have been caught in the hustle culture for a long time, and it has left me without an answer or direction pretty much. It has left me thinking that the only path to success is to buy other experts courses which is stressful because I don't have money now. I'm always caught in ideas of making money. I think it's time for me not to lead with the idea of making lots of money, but rather to lead with what I'm curious about and what value I will and can bring to others. So thankyou for reminding of that. Thankyou for confirming that email marketing is critically important as well as housing my business on a website and not on a platform that can shut down my account without explanation.
Thankyou for your video and ebook!❤
This is amazing 💛 As an artist using social media to promote my business and someone who feels overwhelmed and exhausted, this is so perfect 🎉 I appreciate you for making this!
thank you for all your calm and lovely information
People describe me as a Calming person. I love this video. I am a creative Solopreneur
This video was like a deep, long, breath of fresh air. Thank you for this
Absolutely agree with the shift towards a calm, authenticity-focused marketing approach! Crafting evergreen content that resonates personally with your audience not only builds lasting relationships but also ensures your message stands the test of time. 🌿
Thank you for this. I've not used social media (in terms of Twitter, Insta, Bluesky, etc) for a while now, and feel frustrated when I feel forced into posting. Even places like Reddit just feel like a dumping ground of useless promo. I am so, so ready to do my business properly, without relying on being an influencer.
Such a good workshop, Louise! I love the highway metaphor - SO true. This is all so old-school - the way commerce has worked since ancient times! Thanks for your efforts. The more people embrace this calm approach, the more aware the whole culture will become - especially artists. And everyone needs that right now.
I’m so happy to discover you and this video. I currently work with design and social media for a company, and I’ve just been diagnosed with burnout… I am rethinking everything about my life, and trying to visualize a path where i can pursue art and other creative activities I love, as a way to build a life I actually enjoy. I was very desperate specially because of all the AI stuff that’s happening right now, but you reminded me so much of how humanity and authentic matters. Thank you so much, you calmed my heart a little ❤
This was such a helpful video thank you Calm Creative, you genuinely calmed me down. I’ve found you at the right moment x
Your videos are truly so calming as well, which makes me love to just watch besides being full of value. Been researching a lot this type of content to launch my own creative business and your video has so much legit info! to the people on the back, this is real gold advice
very useful video.I do not use social media for marketing, but as an ordinary user, I still get trapped in it and it devours my time which I could use to make my little art))) Thank you for speaking up
This was so helpful! Also, thankyou for being so calm without yelling the information at us like everyone else!
this...this is going to be the new wave of doing things. I hope this catches on! Thank you for this!
Thank you so much for this video, it has been such a relief for me to find you, your pace and ways to bring out singularity online. This video is precious to me 💖
Dear Louise, thank you so much for this video. I love how calmly you talk and how much information you give.
Thank you so much 🙏 I felt so depressed sometimes because of social medias… loosing motivation, energy and creativity. Thank you to share with us that an other path does exist and…works !
This is EXACTLY what I’ve been needing to hear… for a while. I really appreciate your calm, grounded voice of reason and leadership in this crazy world! Thank you 🙏
That was incredible. And you just made my Sunday night. Thank you very much. Everything resonated and I think that 34 minutes was somehow therapeutic. I needed more than anything, to just feel calm. And you've reminded me of the importance of things I hold valuable. 🙏🏻
Thank you for this lovely and encouraging video. I appreciate the creative marketing ideas.
What a great video! Love the insights you share, Louise. Your vibe is so tranquil and zen. Much love 🫶🏻
I haven’t posted on social media for nearly a year. I’m so glad other people are turning away from it now. Thank you so much for this video.
This is probably the best advice I have heard and has come at the right time for me as I try to make sense of social media which doesn't work for me. I had recently had some realisations and your video seems to back up my thoughts and ideas. Thank you for your time!
Awe thank you so much for this video, everything you give you are, which is something we feel not fake. Looking forward to grow with you !
This is just perfect. Your calm approach is definitely what I needed to see/hear because the thought of doing things in the typical way many others do gives me serious anxiety and a real fear of burnout as it’s happened before. Thank you for in-a-way giving me the permission to market my half-built idea into something quietly brilliant. This is always how I’ve wanted to market but didn’t think possible & now you’ve shown me that it is!
This is a fantastic video - your calm demeanor is well...super calming AND engaging. Just the info I was seeking and I came across you by chance.
This entire video was like a glorious stream in a desert. So well done. Thank you.
When I create videos for my channel, or when I market, I’ve been very intentional about staying true to my voice. And it is SO refreshing to come across another creative doing the same ❤
This was really helpful for me. Specifically, thinking of "creating a body of work". I've been talking a lot recently of how much I want to have a robust resource library for creatives. That one phrase you shared really helped solidify and have words to describe what I was feeling a pull toward. Thank you!
I don't do marketing, don't have any business just about to start out as a content writer and I'm just a minute into the video so I don't know what comes next BUT I feel so relieved just hearing from someone that social media isn't something we HAVE TO push down our throats in order to gain success. That's the only reason I clicked on this video seeing it in my feed. Every time I come across a video talking about how to get successful with whatever you're doing, there's sOcIaL mEdIa, it's exhausting. I don't want to post reels, stories, go live, basically have a whole routine revolving around social media, the thought of it feels like I'm chaining myself. I'm just so relieved that there's someone who feels that way too, and wants to help others achieve that. And every person who clicked on this video looking for an alternative to gain success without social media makes me hopeful
Thank you so much. This is highly valuable and took copious notes.
So grateful for your video. I've been stressing out trying to pull followers from all directions and almost giving up. Thanks for helping me to refocus on what matters and giving some hope in the work I'm doing now.
Wow did I ever need this today! A hard day- I had someone pretty much reject all thoughts I have in my ways to market my business and I was gutted …….this is how I see it and appreciate your help in this ❤
Thank you so much for this! I've been considering leaving social media for a while but have been scared it would affect my business. But when I look at my sales, I've had a few come from LinkedIn but nothing from the others. After watching your video, I'll definitely be saying goodbye to Instagram and Facebook (I'm not quite ready to leave LinkedIn, but this doesn't suck away as much as my time as Instagram does). Thank you again x
I just found and immediately knew you were meant for me. Thank you for sharing your views, experiences and insights from a Calm Creative lens 💖
Thank you for this! This was very helpful and refreshing to watch. I subscribed and cannot wait to watch more of your content 😊
Less than 2 minutes in and I subscribed. It’s a breath of fresh air to hear someone talk about not doing the shallow hustle culture. I don’t want that shit invading my art or my mindset. Thank you for this!
Thanks for all the advice. Just want you to know that I appreciate you taking the time. I listened to the whole thing after 5 stop and starts.
Thank you sooo much for this video. It's so refreshing, different, helpful and authentic. I'm glad I came across your channel.
Thank you Louise, I was looking for something exactly like this without knowing that I was in fact looking for it. I truly believe that the calm MKT approach will be the stability that social media needs. Hopefully will rise a few standards. If it don't, the illusion that social media provides will eventually implodes.
I love this so much; thank you for your heart and gift. I agree. The gentle yet devoted way of showing up and serving that intertwines our art and our capacity to share it while serving those who need it has to come from a place of peace, trust, sustainability, and joy for me. Authenticity and connection, dep, raw, and playing the long game- of leadership and building a community. Beautifully done, Louise.
Thank you, Louise, for being. Thank you for sharing your calm and grounding voice. I've been scattered on all sides lately, confused on what/ how to do this because everyone online is just jelling faster! faster! more! more! And that's just not me. Though I started to believe that faster and more is the only way. I began to think that I have to build an empire or nothing. And thank you for deciding to stay on youtube, I'm subscribed to your newsletter, but I'm a lazy reader - more of a listener.
Soooo refreshing! And calming! Thank you for that. I was stuck in front of a mountain of to-dos on Social Media and just realized how to go about marketing my business in a way that aligns more with me and my values. Thanks again 😊
Insightful. I recently am getting back into the “the game” you answered a lot of questions that I’ve been having. About direction etc.
THIS is exactly what I want. Make enough to do what I love and hopefully save some for when I can’t.

Yea i definitely have to stick around, im a independent creative learning complex resources, stumbling across your honesty (helpful insights) with being straight to the point, down to earth/clear on communication and not overwhelming to take in! Keep it up you stand out real awesome to find this meaningful!
Thank you for this video which is so relevant for me currently starting my new craft business. Social media is so overwhelming to me now having disconnected from many about 5 years ago. Such a relief listening to you and info as it resonates so much❤
thank you very much for this video, it moved me. Social media currently makes me so unhappy, I'm tired and down. then I came across your video and I feel myself coming back❤
